Research Project

 

The impact of topical steroid application on post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

A common consequence of skin inflammatory insults to the skin is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.  In most cases, the main pigment deposit is in the dermis within macrophages.  Usually, this dyschromia resolves itself in several months.  However, deeply-pigmented sites may remain permanently. The main objective of this study is to try to answer the following question,  gDoes the addition of a topical steroid to the topical anti-microbial agent following acute injury impact favorably (decrease) the hyperpigmentation that follows?h The study will be carried out on 15 human volunteers.   The test sites will be studied histologically, using special stains to check the details of melanization taking place. Salman, S. M., N. Rubeiz, and A. G. Kibbi.
